Calling all local youth catchers! The Murrieta Mesa baseball program welcomes current Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim bullpen catcher, Tom Gregorio, to their fields in August for a two-day catcher’s camp. The camp will run three hours per day with the sole focus on drills that will help local catchers, ages 12-18, hone their craft.
Gregorio, a Brooklyn native, spends half his year in California training current MLB catchers, while also catching bullpens for the Angels pitching staff during the 162-game season as well as the postseason. Having previously played at the highest level for the Angels, he also spent time in the minor league systems of the Oakland Athletics, Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers.
“I am excited for this opportunity to help train these younger athletes and work with them on the things that we teach at the Major League level,” says Gregorio.
The camp will run Aug. 7-8 on the Murrieta Mesa High School baseball fields from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on both days. The cost for the camp is $120. Those interested can sign up at www.murrietamesaathletics.com/ramsbaseball or by emailing head coach, JP Raineri, at jpraineri@gmail.com . Space is limited, sign up today. Murrieta Mesa High School is located at 24801 Monroe Avenue in Murrieta.
